"""

So it looks like starting from the inside out
I have an key and a value where the value can be a QuotedString,
Word(num), or a list of nums

So my code to catch this looks like this..

    atflist = Suppress("(") + commaSeparatedList + Suppress(")")
    atfstr = quotedString.setParseAction(removeQuotes)
    atfvalues = ( Word(nums) | atfstr | atflist )

    l = ("36", '"metal2"', '(0.21,0.24,0.6,0.24,0.24,0.6)')

    for x in l:
        print atfvalues.parseString(x)

But this isn't passing the list commaSeparatedList.  Can someone point
out my errors?

As a side note:  Is this the right approach to using pyparsing.  Do we
start from the inside and work our way out or should I have started
with looking at the bigger picture ( keyword + "{" + OneOrMore key /
vals + "}" + )  I started there but could figure out how to look
multiline - I'm assuming I'd just join them all up?

Thanks
